The Impact of AI on Creative Work and the Future of Employment
AI has the potential to handle menial tasks in creative fields, allowing individuals to focus on the aspects of their work they enjoy. While automation such as video and image generation may seem threatening, historical parallels show that creative professionals have adapted and thrived despite technological advances, shifting towards higher-value work. The art world, for instance, has seen painters refine their skills and increase the value of their work in response to the advent of photography. Over the next few years, the workforce can expect a significant transformation where tedious tasks become automated, leading to more enjoyable work experiences. In a longer timeframe, particularly in the next decade, there may come a time when work becomes optional due to the combined influence of AI and robotics, reducing costs of goods and prompting a societal reevaluation of work and leisure. As individuals embrace AI-as-a-tool for personal growth, such as learning instruments, the enjoyment derived from these activities remains paramount.
